Did you ever read (or see the movie) Bridget Jones’ Diary? I love that book (and the movie). She started each entry with how much she weighed, ate, smoked, etc. Well, I’ve decided to start each entry with my weight and how many miles I walked today.

(Gross part of the entry begins here, ignore if you are squeamish.)

I took the day off today to go to the doctor. About a month ago I started to notice a little bump forming right below my lower lip. At first I thought it was a zit so I did the typical thing and picked at it, etc. It never went away. As a matter of fact, it kept getting bigger. It was very annoying. When I would talk to people I would see their eyes dart down to my lip and then back up again. As if I didn’t know it wasn’t there! I would pick at it and then leave it alone for days. Nothing worked. So I made an appointment and went to the doctor today. I was all nervous because I feared the worst. Cancer maybe? The doctor took one look and said, with a little laughter, “That’s a wart.” While I was glad it wasn’t cancer, I wondered how I could get a wart. I’ve never had one before. He told me it’s very common and not a big deal at all. He went and got some liquid nitrogen. He used a small q-tip and began freezing it. He did this for a good five minutes until I couldn’t take the stinging. He said it would eventually turn black and fall off. Maybe two weeks. He said if it doesn’t go away in two weeks to come back for another treatment. Now that I know what it is and that it will eventually go away, I can relax. I can put up with the way people look at me for the next few weeks knowing that it will go away. I know this is kinda gross to talk about but hey, it’s a blog, it’s my life, shit happens. 🙂

So my doctors appointment was at 8:00 am so I had the rest of the day to run errands and have lunch with Sweet Brad. I picked Brad up at his office at 1:00 and we went to a local place for their pizza buffet. It was really good. Lots of pasta and pizza and all that stuff bad for you. I completely stuffed myself. I ate way too much. The best part of course was spending a few hours with Sweet Brad. I hadn’t seen him since the weekend. He was all dressed up in a suit for work. Damn, he looked HOT! Too bad I didn’t have my camera! As usual we had some great conversation and caught up on things going on this week. We made tentative plans for the weekend as well. I always enjoy spending time with Sweet Brad. On the way home from lunch with Sweet Brad I stopped and got some new ink cartridges for my printer. When I got home I printed some photos. I was feeling miserable from eating so much so I got into my walking clothes, strapped on the iPod Mini, grabbed my book, and went down to the treadmill. I was determined to walk off my lunch. I stayed on the treadmill for an hour and a half. I walked close to 5 miles. I even inclined the treadmill to level 4. It was like climbing a small hill. I would have kept walking but a women came in close to the time I was done so I decided to give up the treadmill and let her use it. While walking I read almost a third of my book. I’m really enjoying this story. I’m sure I’ll finish it soon. Now I plan on relaxing the rest of the evening and in bed by 9:00. My life is pretty trivial, huh? But hey, that’s what I like about writing this blog. No matter how trivial it seems, I can write about and feel good about it. Cool.
